It can be hard to make a shake at the right consistency. If it’s going to have fruit in it you need to take the juice into account. If I’m on the go or otherwise multitasking I like to drink it with a straw. Sometimes when I’m just sitting sitting around I like them thick enough that you need to eat them with a spoon. Pineapple and raspberry are my current favorites.

I am currently the smoothie guy at the coffee shop I work at. It’s gotten to the point where people will take my suggestions over their first choices. They even tip well afterwards. Anyways, yeah, my two cents…

There’s a song by They Might Be Giants called “Minimum Wage” and it’s just someone saying “MINIMUM WAAAAAGE! HEEYAH!” and then a whip crack and the rest is instrument. Really weird song, but then again that’s TMBG for you. I was thinking that could be the theme song for this week’s theme.

I saw this thing on Food Network (I think it was either on Unwapped or The Secret Life Of) where they went to some ice cream shop that specializes in making extremely-thick milkshakes. Their secret to making such a thick milkshake is that there is no milk in it, they just put a bunch of ice cream in a cup and then stir it up a bit. That feels like cheating on the definition of a milkshake.

Milkshakes are amazing! Last summer I would go to B&R at least once a week and have one of my friends make me a milkshake. The best was if Robert was working, ’cause not only would he make it EXTRA thick, he’d give me his employee discount. Score!
I’m with brickface and Biff on this one. The thicker the better!

Good lord, biff’s milkshake isn’t just extra thick, it’s also so sticky that it has suctioned itself onto the walls of the cup. Super sentient milkshake GO! It remionds me of Biff’s jiucebox, the one that had stronger lungs than he did. Wonder what it’s like to be eaten by a milkshake.

Oddly enough, there’s an ice cream shop down the street from my home called Ritter’s, and they have a shake that’s really a shake, but it’s thick enough that they actually serve it to you through the window upside-down. How’s that for confidence? =P

Heh, I love a good shake. If I can help it, I’ll always get a shake over a soda whenever my family gets fast food. Really, I guess I just like that middle ground that shakes are, too liquidy to be ice cream, too thick to be a drink. Whenever I have ice cream, I’ll stir it around and let it melt until it’s thin, but still thick enough to need a spoon, and whenever I have root beer floats, I’ll always put in a lot of ice cream but little root beer so that it becomes thick enough to eat with a spoon, too.

Ahh, milkshakes, one of the most glorious types of soquid that exists. I prefer Chocolate myself, despite the fact that it makes my stomach hurt. They should be thick enough that it’s difficult to suck it through a straw, but not so thick that it’s impossible. Red Robin (yummm) makes some of the greatest Shakes that exist.
